Looks Good but Buyer Beware!! - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By Cougar Lover & Loser - October 14 - 4:13 amI have had my Cougar for going on 4 years now. It had 69k when I bought it & I just took it over the 87k mark last week. Let me start off by saying that I love the looks of this car, especially with all the bells & whistles (like leather seats, moonroof, and traction control) BUT the looks alone are not worth the hassle the Cougar brings. I have replaced the alternator ($700/ea) three times! IN LESS THAN 18,OOO MILES! Today, I noticed the same old flickering lights & I headed off to trade her in for a Rav4!

Lots of fun - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By CougarLover - October 10 - 6:13 pmI bought the cougar for my wife, and she loves it. It is sporty and very fun to drive, she rarely lets me behind the wheel. We have had 0 problems, we have not even had a problem with the fuel pump yet. ***Knock on wood*** I have had a blast with this vehicle and the silver looks fantastic. I only wish it had a moon/sun roof. But I bought used so I got what was there.

I hate this car - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By patskar - August 3 - 10:00 amIve had this car almost 3 years and have just put in its 5th alternator. Ive also had two other separate electrical services. The radio has been replaced twice and the hatch release has been repaired twice and still doesn;t work. I am so sorry I bought this car. It looks pretty, but thats about it.

My Cougar - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By cougowner - June 22 - 10:23 pmI bought this Cougar as a first car in 2006 and so far it has been a pretty grear car. It is an absolute blast to drive! It could use a smoother ride and a new cup holder! I have recently had some odd issues with my electrical (Gauges act weird when started and mirrors and courtesy light just stopped working.) So far nothing major has gone wrong with it though (crossed fingers!)

Been good to me - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By Zoey - April 8 - 5:23 amI bought the car new, it was cute and got great gas mileage. I have the 5 speed transmission. Everything held up great. I took good care of my care and can recommend it as a used vehicle if you are looking for good gas mileage and nice sound system. I didnt have any of the negative experiences mentioned by other owners. The tires went to 78K original, the tire tools clunk around, but you can fix that. Great sound system. Not a speed demon, but got me to where I wanted to go and didnt cost me much after the purchase price.

good looks, good drive - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By Scuba Steve - March 13 - 2:00 amI got my Cougar a little over a year ago, and have had 0 problems to date. Its by far the most fun car I have ever driven, with a gutsy enough little 4 cylinder and the easiest shifting manual transmission that I have ever seen. The car handles like a dream around corners. The 1999 Cougar had problems, with few to none of them transferring over to the 2000 model year. If you would like a car that runs good and looks great, grab one of these.

awful car, AVOID AT ALL COSTS - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By John_j_c8 - March 7 - 10:00 amFrom day 1, this car was plagued with problems. Defective radio, broken hood prop were the first things. Then alternators, AC Compressors, fuel pump, rotos, brake pads, alignment, tire re- balance, insulation hanging from the under body, fabric on the seats came apart, poor fit and finish and many more PROBLEMS. Avoid this car.

Shame on Ford Motor Company - 2000 Mercury Cougar
By budgie - February 20 - 1:50 pmI bought this car used for my daughter for college. It was fun to drive, sporty and she loved it. Two years later while on an internship 1500 miles away from home in Texas it stopped working. What a dissapointment! It started with a bad alternator, one month and three alternators later, we traded the car in at a significant loss. No one could fix it, not even experts in automotive electrical systems. Dont buy this car, and if you have one, trade it before you experience this problem; it is a safety issue. Bottom line, last Ford product I ever buy, too bad, I love the new Shelby Mustang!
